MAGIC WORDS Great Scott Meanings: Great Scott is an exclamation equivalent to Eureka! Facts: To begin his show, professional magician The Great Scott (Scott Green) tells his spectators that the magic words are Great Scott! "Throughout the show, Scott has the audience yell the magic words to make his magic happen."9 Greece Mystique: "To almost all, is Greece a magic word. Her romantic history -- the legacies she has left us -- our early recollections, identifying with her existence as a nation, all that is good and glorious; -- no wonder these things should have shed a bright halo around her, -- and have made each breast deeply sympathise with her in her unwonted struggle for freedom."10 Gweezy Yahmi Facts: These exotic-sounding magic words actually condense the phrase "go easy on me." These words are featured in a video entitled "Adventures in Customer Courtesy." "By touching their hands to their temples and saying the magic words 'gweezy yahmi,' . . . customer service heroes invoke Kirby the Leprechaun, a customer service magician."11 9 TheGreatScott.com (2005) 10 A.
